Send us a Text Message.

In this episode, we’re with William Peters. He talks about the idea of a shared death experience and why we should reevaluate our views on death and the afterlife.

Here’s what we talk about:

●      How COVID has changed people’s views about death and dying

●      Recognizing death as both a natural process and a human experience

●      What is the shared death experience (SDE's)?

●      The difficulty of receiving near-death experiences in medical science

●      Acceptance of death and the afterlife

●      Do we need a near-death experience to have a shared death experience?

●      The transformative power of seeing your loved one in another dimension.

About William Peters:

William is a licensed psychotherapist and is the Founder of the Shared Crossing, and the Director of the Shared Crossing Research Initiative (SCRI), Project. 

William has been studying the end of life for nearly two decades and after nearly one thousand case studies, thousands of hours of interviews, and collecting and quantifying data, one theme emerged: repeated examples of a connection felt by the living person to the deceased at or around the moment of death, which fundamentally changes their understanding of death and dying. These moments are identified as "shared death experiences", and what they tell us is that none of us is leaving this earth alone

He is recognized by many as the world’s leading authority on the shared death experience (SDE).  William and his team have created a user-friendly guide to assist the dying, caregivers, and healthcare professionals in navigating and understanding phenomena that can manifest at end of life.  

William conducts workshops and presents internationally. He recently presented at the American Academy of Hospice and Palliative Medicine Annual Conference. His innovative work has been featured on CNN Online among other media outlets. William’s book entitled At Heaven’s Door:  What Shared Journeys to the Afterlife Teach About Dying Well and Living Better were published worldwide by Simon & Schuster in January 2022.

William continues his practice as a licensed psychotherapist at the Family Therapy Institute in Santa Barbara.  He has served as a Zen Hospice volunteer and his work is informed by his two near-death experiences and a variety of shared death experiences.
